He said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, that Trumputin is doing the right thing with the Paris Accord! Just a month ago he was bashing the Trump Care bill! These guys just jump on any band wagon that goes by!

everyone else can fuck off.
It's amazing that people still believe there is a future in coal, let alone that there will be job growth.

Or any other politician for that matter.

(26,371 posts)9. Are you trying to suggest that we can think in terms of issues

As a doctor were he elected as a US Senator from Ky in the 60's he would have claimed smoking is good for you and that the legal smoking age should be lowered to 12. Because Ky grew a ton of tobacco.

Not really bandwagon jumping at all.

Not that withdrawing from the Paris accord is going to help coal miners but it makes for great Kabuki theater.
